There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on 

the feelings, as in October. 

- Nathaniel Hawthorne

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. 

-   Elizabeth Lawrence

The heavenly blue of fresh new days

Oh, friend, you must employ them

Before they pass away. Be brave!

Enjoy them; oh, enjoy them!

-   Theodor Storm,  A Song in October
